It is possible to estimate?

I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...

Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died

I've mostly been using Lemmy since the exodus, but checked back once in a while because Relay was still working. It seems Relay finally stopped working properly, so I'm done with Reddit now. 100 percent Lemmy/Tildes for me.

Edit: to add Tildes. I like it over there too.

I still use it occasionally for some things, though I’ve noticed a steep quality drop on Reddit. I spend much more time on Lemmy.

Lemmy > Discovery, Reddit > Specific Subs that haven’t yet migrated.

I dropped it, and this is a good thing. I started to become addicted to my phone.

I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died

I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.

[–] burrito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I almost left reddit years ago after one of their constant BS things but the API one was the last straw. They lost 4 relatively active accounts when I left. It has been great watching the communities on the fediverse grow.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe make a poll?

[–] generic@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I kept Infinity installed until it finally stopped working. In the last few weeks, there was basically nothing good on Reddit anyway so I'm ok with dropping it.

I'm hoping more people come to Lemmy and we get lots of content here!

Left after I found lemmy

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.

I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.

Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

When im desperate for information and all I'm getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I've deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it's better than... well... endorsing reddits decisions.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

I thought this was going to be more of polling post.

Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.

I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.

[–] Migillope@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't passively use it anymore, but I'll use it as a reference for past posts.

"How to determine undertone lemmy" doesn't really work like "... reddit"

[–] Elonkilledmydad@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

+1 left when RIF stopped working

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

At least one, because I did. Totally uninstalled the app and only use the website for obscure google queries where Reddit is the only meaningful result

[–] Squirrel_Patrol@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I did after almost 12yrs. Haven't looked back

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

Not that meant of us obviously.

Enough that it has really helped Lemmy. Too few to materially impact Reddit.
